Hi guys, I used to yo yo in middle school… which was like 12 years go now lol. I wanted to get back into it so I bought a Atmosphere… so whats the trick to get this damn thing to respond and return to my hand? haha

I see that its described as an unresponsive yo yo but im guessing u have to get it to return to your hand other wise there would be no need at all for sili response pads…

like I said… ultra noob, any help would be much appreciated!

Welcome back to yoyoing!

The method for returning an unresponsive is called a “Bind”

> **[YoYoExpert.com - Intermediate - Bind Returns](https://yoyoexpert.com/learn/030-intermediate-bind-returns.php)**
>
> Learn how to return an unresponsive yo-yo using a bind return from the YoYoExpert.

Our learn section will guide you on your yoyoing adventure. That video will get you in the correct direction for binding. If you have any other questions feel free to ask away, we were all noobs once and we all know how you feel.

You can always make it more responsive by lubing the bearing.  
It will still play just fine.

A few things i can think of that could help you are using a 100% cotton strings, thick lube and learning how to bind.

Lets us know what works for you.

OK Looks like something was broken yesterday.&nbsp; All the ones I had went to that goofy ad page -DG- mentioned.

[http://www.grawrd.com/](http://www.grawrd.com/) works today.

And his youtube links were taken down by youtube for complaints.

For example: [http://youtube.com/user/theorganizerteachs](http://youtube.com/user/theorganizerteachs)

He announced it a few weeks ago on another site.

[quote=TheOrganizer;653859]Now, for those of you who are saying, “WHAT??? Have you quit da yoyos?” I will make a video addressing that and the termination of both of my youtube accounts at a later time…
